Scarborough: Our Founders Anticipated Someone Like Trump as President Who Has ‘Autocratic Tendencies’

‘They never anticipated a compliant Congress’

EXCERPT:

SCARBOROUGH: "And all I will say is, going back to what I’ve said before, our Founders anticipated having this type of person as president of the United States, someone who would have autocratic tendencies. They never anticipated a compliant Congress. But look at Congress. How many people followed up Donald Trump’s call for the firing of the director of the F.B.I.? I didn’t see it. Maybe they did. I didn’t see it. How many people were chirping on the television this weekend that Bob Mueller was churning out fake news? Even the back-benchers that humiliated themselves time and again, I didn’t see it. It seems to me that what Bob Mueller did, and Natasha, let’s bring you in here, Bob Mueller connected a lot of dots and more importantly, he proved that far from being fake news we had an aggressive ongoing active attempt by the Russian government, by Vladimir Putin’s government, to impact the outcome of our election."
